[QUOTE="AC016, post: 179936, member: 9619"] I am happy that you posted this article and I do feel the same. I always shake my head when beginners come onto this forum and ask about software, but they have not even gotten to know their camera! Today's cameras produce amazing JPEGs. With these JPEGs, there is not much need to do a full photoshop job on them. People just starting out should learn to take good JPEGs first. Once they learn that, they will have learnt all the good stuff about shutter speed, ISO, aperture, etc. From there, they can delve into photoshop. With this way of learning, the beginner is not distracted by what photoshop can or can not do and can concentrate on learning the fundamentals of photography first. I know that people go on about software being the "digital darkroom", but in the days of film, you only had two choices to get your pictures on paper: use your own darkroom or send them off to be developed. Now that we have awesome Nikon DSLRs that process pictures for us, we don't need either. I would say that software is just an extension of the darkroom that is already built in to your DSLR. [/QUOTE]
